Embodiment Construction

[0015]This object is achieved with an electronic communication apparatus comprising a control unit with a digital processor electronically coupled to an infrared sensor and to a wireless near field magnetic transceiver for communication with a portable electronic device. The infrared sensor is configured for detection of infrared radiation in a selected area in the vicinity of the detector / sensor and for creating an activity signal upon detection of movement of an infrared radiation source in the area. The activity signal is received by the control unit causes the control unit to go into an activity mode. In the activity mode, the control unit transmits a signal, typically an electronic signal through a wire, to the transceiver and causes the transceiver to transmit a wireless data signal as a request for receiving a wireless response signal with an ID (ID=identifying feature) from a portable electronic device.

[0016]This object is also achieved with a method for checking an object's...

Abstract

An electronic communication apparatus comprising an electronic communication apparatus comprising a control unit with a digital processor electronically coupled to an infrared sensor and to a wireless near field magnetic transceiver for communication with a portable electronic device. The infrared sensor is configured for detection of infrared radiation in a selected area in the vicinity of the detector and for creating an activity signal upon detection of movement of an infrared radiation source in the area. The activity mode implies causing the transceiver to transmit a wireless data signal as a request for receiving a wireless response signal with an ID from a portable electronic device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an apparatus with an infrared sensor and magnetic near field communication properties for monitoring activity in a selected area in a hospital or home.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Surveillance of the movement and presence of humans and animals is of concern under different conditions. One common principle is based on infrared (IR) monitoring, for example as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,661,343.[0003]Other systems are based on radio communication. For example U.S. Pat. No. 5,218,344 discloses a system, where personally carried transmitters are used for communication with a number of receivers in order to calculate the exact position due to the time lag between the signals received by different receivers.[0004]In contrast to most wireless communication systems, where a radio frequency wave propagates through free space, a wireless non-propagating magnetic field can be provided which is localized relatively close to the a...
